Kae Noi, Thailand General Team
The children of the Kae Noi Children’s Home have left a mark on the lives of everyone who has ever visited. In fact, the whole surrounding hillside Lahu village has been touched by hundreds of Eastsiders bringing support over the years. This year we will not only meet the practical needs through projects like planting mango groves to provide sustainable income, children's programming, and gathering child sponsorship updates; we will also be supporting the local churches in the region with unique outreaches, and training for their people...all in the name of a God who loves them. You will also get to meet the child you sponsor! Your two-week journey in Thailand will end with a few days of continuing ministry along with rest and reward on the spectacular white sand beaches of Phuket!

You'll receive critical information about managing your trip, and fundraising; and begin to learn the specifics of your particular trip. If you live out of the area and plan to join by Zoom, you will receive the links you need by email on Friday, March 3. If you live near the Las Vegas or Park Rapids campus, you get to meet with other travelers on your campus and join the Zoom meeting from there. A campus representative will send you details on this.
